Former Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi Wasn’t a Fan of Crash
Crash Bandicoot is a well-known and well-loved PlayStation franchise but there was once a time when the creators of the animated marsupial and the head of Sony didn’t quite see eye-to-eye. Former Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi felt like Crash Bandicoot would be a game more suited for a console with a focus on family-friendly gaming. At the time, Kutaragi wanted to focus on making the PS One feel like a mature gaming platform that strayed away from family-focused titles. According to Digital Spy, there was quite a bit of debate over whether or not Crash Bandicoot was a title that fit with the kind of game library Kutaragi had in mind for PlayStation. Fortunately, there were enough people in favor of bringing Crash to the PlayStation that the game was pushed through despite Kutaragi’s concerns. Turns out Crash was certainly worth the risk.
